With the limitless potential she has shown as both an actress and a singer, there are high expectations for the diverse and active endeavors of Jo Yuri, the all-rounder.
▲ Jo Yuri's bold challenge with 'band music'
Through her mini album 'Episode 25', Jo Yuri embarks on a bold challenge by presenting music highlighted by band sounds. While previous albums focused on performance-oriented music, this one is structured to show a broad spectrum with live-based music. In particular, Jo Yuri's compelling vocals and sentiment infused with seasonal feelings are expected to create explosive synergy with the live-centered musical colors.
The title track representing Jo Yuri’s 'band music', 'Goodbye Now!', features a rich band sound and Jo Yuri's refreshing vocals, standing out as a pop rock genre, allowing listeners to glimpse her unique charm. The pre-released track 'The Time of Dogs and Cats', unveiled on the 7th, continues to receive positive responses for its lovely band sound produced by singer-songwriter and producer Cloud.
Jo Yuri is expected to build an original musical world by fully incorporating the genres of music she wants to explore and her own stories into this album.
▲ Well-made tracks filled with diverse genres
This album includes not only the title track 'Goodbye Now!' and the pre-released song 'The Time of Dogs and Cats' but also features a variety of tracks that reflect Jo Yuri's tastes. A total of five tracks, including the danceable indie pop 'HICCUP', which captures a heart-fluttering emotion based on city pop, the medium-tempo hip-hop 'Diving', and the sad yet restrained 'Overkill', are organically consolidated to offer listeners 'pleasure in listening'.
Filled with well-made tracks from various genres, this album is expected to be a high-quality project that meets the long-awaited return of fans yearning for Jo Yuri.
Meanwhile, Jo Yuri's mini album 'Episode 25' will be released on the 14th at 6 p.m. through various online music sites.
